[amsat-bb] Re: Playing with GPS
Hi Lee, Thanks for your observation. I remember in those days when the accuracy wasn't that great, and the GPS were rather rare. Showing his newly acquired GPS and showing off the exact positon , well nearly. OK I will tell you now where we are We are on that hill pointing a mile away Well in your case at least you could see your tower hi. Happy hunting 73 Sangat, 9M2SS On 26 July 2010 06:55, Lee Ernstrom iamsavedbygr...@q.com wrote: Hi Guys, I have been playing around with my Garman NUVI GPS and comparing the readings to Google Maps. This is something you call try at home. My Garman says that the base of my HF tower is at 41.07430 N 112.03774 W. When I punch in those coordinates in to Google Maps in the satelite view mode the arrow points to a location about 30 feet away near the middle of the lawn east of my driveway. When I play around with the coordinates a little through interpolation and punch them in to Google Maps several times I arrive at what appears to be the true coordinates of the base of my HF tower at 41.074329 N 112.037770 W. I suppose that is the significant difference that sixth decimal place makes. Check both of these coordinates on Google Maps to see what I mean. Any comments?

[amsat-bb] Re: XW-1 0815 UTC over Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Congratulations Sion, Unfortunately I was not at the station to take advantage of HO-68 switched over Malaysia. Beacon can of course be heard from AOS to LOS with KCT keeping the doppler adjusted properly. 73 Sangat, 9M2SS 2009/12/26 9w...@9w2qc.net 9w...@9w2qc.net: Dear All, For the first time this morning (26th December 2009 at 0815 UTC, 45 Deg Elevation), the linear transponder of XW-1 / HO-68 was turned on over Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The transponder was sounding very well, with a couple of high speed CW stations and JAs heard on SSB just after AOS. Unfortunately, had too short a window to find my uplink and work the JAs. After the JA window has passed, managed to have a nice contact with E21EJC. As published, the linear transponder shut off at 0819 UTC, and after this the following CW telemetry was recorded: http://www.9w2qc.net/amsatbb/HO68_1120MYT_45DEG.mp3 Great sounding satellite, and hope to see the linear/FM transponder activated more often over this part of the region. BTW, is there any particular e-mail address (maybe from the control team) that we should use to send telemetry recordings to? Would also like to wish all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2010. 73, Sion Chow Q.
